Lost in Lesotho

Putting words to my experiences as a PCV in Lesotho and now as an RPCV living in the Midwest! Continuing the journey post PC with a new job and long distance relationship with my boyfriend that is born and raised in Lesotho and that I met as a volunteer!

About Me: I'm a quarter life Midwestern girl that worked with Preschool (ECCD) teachers in Lesotho, Southern Africa. Now as an RPCV, I'm working with a rural school district in IL as a parent involvement coordinator with families with children 0-3.

Leaving the ring issue for the time being

I currently have 6 sheets of paper each one a to-do list, all things that should be done before I fly out on Tuesday night. Currently it is Friday night, so I still have some time, but I’m gonna have to be skillful about the next few days. 

I’m really trying to work on focusing on prioritizing and getting things accomplished. It is quite easy for me to let my mind become a jumble of ideas and worries and suddenly 7 hours have passed and nothing has been done!  

So now I’m working on journaling and prioritizing to get my work to move forward. Well we will see in a few days where these newest tactics have taken me and what things are left for me to do when I get back!

I think the thing will become how much work am I going to take with me and then how much will I realistically get done while on vacation?

Besides logistics, I’m super looking forward to Lesotho and seeing Sj at the airport! Already trying to prepare myself not to cry as much as I did when I left 10 months ago! P.S. I’m not a pretty crier!
